Shooting

The lodge maintains more than 50 shooting fields all just a short drive through the region’s rolling farmland.The program generally starts at 8:00 AM with a hearty breakfast and short drive to the fields.There you will be assigned a bird boy, who will provide you with shells and refreshments and direct you to your shooting stand. You will be visited frequently by the head guide who will be available to assist you with any need, even giving you some tips on shooting if you like.

You will take part in an Argentine picnic- an asado- these field lunches are legendary, and are served in the shooting areas each day. They feature a variety of meats from grilled dove breasts, a fillet or our tender beef, several varieties of our famous sausages, short ribs, plus lamb, grilled chicken or other meats. Then add several salads, bread we make in our own kitchen, plus beverages and desert.

Not surprisingly hammocks are brought along to lunch in case you need a little siesta before returning to the high volume shooting which will run from  about 2:30 and continue until almost dark. You then return to the Lodge for cocktails, snacks and later dinner.

Each day the lodge donates hundreds of doves to a local food kitchen that serves the area’s needy children, so don’t worry about the birds going to waste.
